I'm worried of loosing all my teeth & I have no more baby teeth, is that nor!


Question:

I'm worried of loosing all my teeth & I have no more baby teeth, is that normal?

My mom only has a few of her top row and bottom row front teeth, my Auntie always has toothaces, my other aunt has fake teeth, I have perfect teeth, I do brush them when I get to. And sometimes, I floss. But I get some occasional toothaches. When I was 8-10, I used to always go to the dentist and I've lost all my baby teeth. When I was young I ate alot of candy, but I don't no more. I don't have any more baby teeth. I'm worried of loosing a tooth and looking weird or loosing all my teeth, help please?

Answers:

The best thing you can do Rainbow is stay away from sugars in a liquid form. Soft drinks like Mountain Dew are the worst especially if you drink them at night at go to bed without brushing and flossing. The plaque is formed from the acids and bacteria in your mouth and can settle on the tooth causing decay. At your age, a fluoride over the counter rinse like Act is helpful to strenthen your enamel(outer layer of tooth) Eating a healthy diet full of fruits and vegetables is essential and drinking plenty of water is helpful to wash away those sugars in candy, soda pop, gum etc.It is normal to worry about your teeth. I have some patients that dream about losing teeth. However, if you are careful in brushing and flossing and watch what you eat, there is no need to worry. Good luck and smile often.
